BioPharma Credit raised $761.9m from investors. It will invest in a portfolio of loans most of which will be backed by royalty payments on Monthly roundup Page | 02 QuotedData April 2017 medical treatments. Impact Healthcare REIT is investing in residential care homes. It has a portfolio of care homes lined up and will issue a further 14m shares when that acquisition goes through. Existing fund, HICL Infrastructure, raised £260m from investors. This is a lot of money to take in from a secondary issue of shares but HICL say that they had applications for three times as many shares as were available. Another infrastructure fund, John Laing Infrastructure, raised £119.5m from a placing, while two renewable energy funds, Renewables Infrastructure and Foresight Solar, raised £110m and £78.5m respectively. Blackstone/GSO Loan Financing, which invests in CLOs (see the glossary on our website for an explanation) is running a new 12-month placing programme. It issued €75m worth of shares in March. Scottish Mortgage, which has just entered the 100 Index, saw its ongoing tap issue raise £35m in March. Regional REIT issued £28m worth of stock as part of a deal it did to acquire a portfolio of properties from Conygar. Duke Royalty issued £15m worth of shares as it was readmitted to trading on AIM. Like BioPharma, it will start making royalty investments. Other notable issuers of stock included Personal Assets, JPMorgan Elect (as it took in money from the M&G High Income rollover – see below for more detail), Finsbury Growth & Income and Custodian REIT. Alliance Trust shrank by over £750m as it bought back Elliott’s stake in the company and conducted a number of other share repurchases in an effort to keep its discount trading around the 4.75% mark. Alliance wasn’t the only venerable Scottish Trust forced to hand back cash to shareholders. Scottish Investment Trust became the latest fund to buy back shares held by Aviva. Aberdeen Frontier Markets offered all of its shareholders the chance to sell their holding back to the company. The fund reduced in size but it has shifted to investing directly rather than through funds and Aberdeen Asset Management have backed it with their own money (see our note for more details). The usual suspects, including Mercantile and JPMorgan American continued to shrink (JPMorgan American is revamping its investment approach in the hope of improving performance) as well as British Empire, Templeton Emerging, Toro, Impax Environmental Markets, Witan and VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunities – all of which bought back stock worth at least £5m. Electra is planning a special dividend of £1bn or 2612p pence per share payable in May 2017. Commentators have condemned the move which penalises individual shareholders who hold the company outside of a tax-protected wrapper (such as an ISA or SIPP) and have questioned why the company isn’t making a compulsory redemption of shares instead. We said goodbye to three funds during March. 60.8% of Aberdeen UK Tracker’s shareholders have opted to take cash rather than roll over into Aberdeen Diversified Income & Growth. In the wind-up of M&G High Income, £166m was repaid to shareholders in cash; £251.8m went to M&G UK Income Distribution Fund; £10m each to M&G Strategic Corporate Bond Fund and M&G Dividend Fund, £7.8m to JPMorgan Elect Managed Growth, £4.4m to JPMorgan Elect Managed Income and £1.8m to JPMorgan Elect Managed Cash.

  • Changing Times INVESTING for a NEW WORLD ORDER?
    SUMMER 2018 Changing times INVESTING FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER? alliancetrustsavings.co.uk Welcome to the latest edition of Taking Stock. Changing times If this edition had a theme tune it might be something like Bob Dylan’s 1960s classic The Times They Are A-Changin’. Or at least that’s how it feels to many of us. US protectionism, Trump-style diplomacy, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Russia, China, Brexit, Facebook, Cambridge Analytica. These have all been headline makers for 2018 so far, and some have undoubtedly been implicated in increased market volatility. Around the world the political and economic power of nation states has always ebbed and flowed. Alliances are made and undone. And the fortunes of individual corporations rise and fall. But the question for investors today is, are we just looking at a variation on a theme of business as usual for the world’s established economic power base? Or is something else going on? Are we on the cusp of some more fundamental change in the world economic order? Keeping ahead of the curve Views on this matter because searching for growth necessarily involves looking ahead and understanding where the longer-term opportunities and threats are likely to be. In this edition of Taking Stock our expert contributors explore the potential implications of the developing picture. From how it’s influencing investment decisions today, to steps any investor can take to make the most of their money in uncertain times. As always, I hope you will find it an informative read. If you have any feedback or suggestions for future editions, please get in touch.
